Page Belting Company Mill // 1892 // This mill produced flat leather belts for factories all over the country and was a vital part of American history throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The company constructed large brick housing nearby for its over 200 workers. The company expanded and purchased similar leather-oriented businesses such as the J.R Hill Harness Company which at the time was one of the most reputable of such companies. By 1978, Page Belting was the largest manufacturer of leather belting in the world and a leader in leather products globally!! The building was later converted into apartments and offices when the company relocated to a larger facility outside of Concord. Who knew leather belting was so interesting! 🤪
